Some Lasso memes

PLEASE TELL ME, JUST SAY YES. (PARENTHESIS ARE ALSO USED FOR THE SAME THING—LOOK AT HOW I USE THEM IN ALMOST EVERY POST I HAVE!!) (also portal 2 reference!! see here: "apple. simple word really. A, double P, L E." - wheatley)

AS FAR AS I KNOW, EM DASHES ARE USED KINDA SIMILARYLY TO THE UH ; SEMICOLON THAT THING

Learning to be kind to myself has been one of the hardest battles I’ve ever faced—but also the most rewarding.

It’s funny how the smallest details make up the biggest parts of a story—like how a handful of tiny collectibles can make an eccentric office feel whole.

This past month, I did something I’ve never done before: I opened up my world and shared small parts of myself in ways that once would’ve had me shaking in my boots—and I won’t lie, the soles were a little wobbly at times.

I added to my repertoire, learning to edit silly videos and make mediocre animations. I honed my craft by challenging myself to write something new each week. But most importantly, I started to believe my work was worth sharing, posting pieces that were never meant to see the light of day.

When I started this journey, I didn’t know what I was doing (and honestly, I often still don’t)... but I’m doing it. It may seem insignificant—sharing prose poetry, writing prompts, and goofy videos—but those are just the small details. For me, they’re the ink composing something bigger than my fears, doubts, or hesitations. And it’s those tiny parts, those small details, that make the story worth writing.

I know this is terribly introspective for a video about knick-knacks, but I couldn’t help feeling sentimental as I post this—officially completing my first month of this new journey.

🪶 Read my version on the last slide or below… IF YOU DARE. 👻😈👹

I stared at my reflection, something about it feeling off—uncanny in the quietest way—and then my arms moved without me.

My face twisted into expressions I didn’t make, and when it finally walked away, I realized I wasn’t just looking at my reflection; I was trapped in it.

Heartbeat:

When your heart stops beating, you do not feel it—there’s no pain, no warning, no sign. Your bones still grow, but your soul feels defeated…and you float in perpetual time.

You don’t know the moment the blood stopped flowing. You don’t know when it withered and died. You just wake up one day, and you know the unknowing—and you wonder how you’re still alive.

Even though your heart has stilled, there’s existence still to be had. So you stuff it with feathers and pretend that it’s filled… and that you’re not too numb to feel sad.

When you live with no heartbeat in a world meant for pulse, other parts of you fade from your core. The color of your spirit slowly dulls, and you miss who you’re not anymore.

There’s beauty in a silent heart—it doesn’t have to stay lifeless forever. It takes time, loss, and pain for it to restart, but it breathes again stronger than ever.

So you self-resurrect, you pull out the feathers—your very own angel of breath. It calls for patience, with all that it weathered. After all, it just danced with death.

And when your heart starts beating, you do not feel it—there is no throb, no tremor, no rush. Your bones still ache but your soul feels needed, and time doesn’t torment as much.

This little routine was picked up pretty much immediately—because trying to focus with all that racket felt like I was writing inside of a jet engine 🛩️

Anyway, happy Freelancer Friday and enjoy my pre-laundry survival ritual 🧺✨

Give me a follow, if you’re about it! Or don’t! That’s cool, too! It’s pretty neat over there, though. Just sayin’.

I’m fairly new to making content, so I’m just kind of winging it at the moment (ha, “winging it.” Get it? Like a crow. Because crows have wings—and I compared myself to a crow in the slides. It’s funny because it’s a play on words)!

So. Yeah. Follow me!

Or don’t! We’re cool either way.

It’d be pretty chill if you did, though.

But you don’t have to!

But it’d be chill if you did. Follow me, I mean. No pressure, though (only if you’re about it).

(Or don’t!) (That’s chill, too!)

(Like, “winging it” because, you know, a crow has wings—but also like the idiom that means to improvise or figure it out as you go!)

(It’s pretty neat over there!)

(You know, on my writing account.)

(Just sayin’.)

(Okay, that was it!)

(Love you!)

(Bye!)

(*Ignore the fact that it is no longer Wednesday 😅 Tumblr was giving me issues yesterday.)

✨Alliteration✨is one of my favorite literary devices!

📝 Can you craft a creation that sings through sound? Post your piece in the comments!

🪶 See my take in the slides and below:

Adoration’s Ache:

I am lost in the limerence.

I am drowning in delusion.

All sense of sanity severs

when breaths of you befoul my brain.

Even my rhymes are rendered with rust.

No antiquated alliteration can avert

the unadulterated anguish

that comes with adoring you.

Your imperfections are perfect.

Your beauty beholds my eye.

I’d gaze at your glow from galaxies.

There is no truer lie

than illusion laced with longing.

There is no craving like complacency

Oh, to be a sleeping frog on a lillypad 🪷 If you could be anything other than human, what would you be? What would you do?
